Career
Yin Xiaolong broke into the team during the 2004 Chinese Super League season and would make his league debut on September 15, 2004 against Inter Shanghai in a 1–0 victory. As a young striker his pace was quickly utilized by the team"s Head coach Zhu Guanghu in the club"s successful title campaign and despite only playing a small part in the team"s league campaign he received significant plaudits as being the team"s next great player after Chinese international Li Yi. While there was much expectancy on him to become a prolific striker the following season the team"s Head coach would leave after being offered the Chinese national team position and the new manager Chi Shangbin wouldn"t show as much faith with him.
